Vicky Tsai is the founder and Chief Treasure Hunter of Tatcha, a modern skincare brand rooted in timeless Japanese beauty rituals.

In this super candid conversation, Vicky opens up about what she was like growing up and her early personal struggles and insecurities and why she never fit with her surroundings. We chat about how she got her start on Wall Street as a credit derivatives trader after college, how being at Ground Zero during 9/11 changed her life forever, getting her MBA from Harvard, and how a spontaneous trip to Kyoto, Japan while seeking treatment for her acute dermatitis led to her founding Tatcha in 2009.

We also talk about the importance of her dual heritage as an Asian-American woman, the journey to finding meaning and purpose in her life, hitting rock bottom and choosing to follow her heart, Tatcha’s value system and what makes it different from other beauty brands, being over $500,000 in debt and not paying herself a salary for 10 years, why she ultimately decided to sell the company to Unilever in 2019 for a reported $500M, and much more!

Stay tuned towards the end as the tables turn and Vicky asks Pat and Posh a question about the unifying trait amongst the founders who have been guests on the show!
